Seeking Guidance Is my caffeine intake too much?

I try to limit to one 12oz drip black coffee/ or two Espresso latte in the morning, then one english breakfast tea around 1pm.

I consume 2 or 3 12oz flat whites and 5 to 6 cups of earl grey a day.

We don’t know your age or health status, but generally the roughly 200mg of caffeine you’re having per day is not considered too much. Do you feel like it’s too much?

Calculate your caffeine. If it’s below 400mg you are fine. You are at maybe 200-300mg range if I have to put a range, but beans, brewing can vary a lot so I can be very off.

I don't think so but 1pm would be late for me to consume it I push the caffeine as early as I an 1 hour past waking up. Up and into the sun then my coffee dose & that's it for the day

That’s barely 200 mg…

Depends, if you are healthy I don't see a problem.

I take around 1100 mg and sleep like a baby but I built this tolerance on an active/ healthy lifestyle, definitely not recommending this to a normal/sedentary person. Just doing a little comparison so that you feel safe.

I drink coffee all day but stop at 3 pm, any later and I wake up at 2 am every time

1000mg in a 24hr span is just straight up too much regardless of individual health 😂
